Description
General Description
Folate-PEG-SH is a heterobifunctional polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative containing a folic acid targeting ligand and a terminal thiol (-SH) functional group. The folate moiety enables targeting of folate receptor-overexpressing cells, while the thiol group supports conjugation with maleimide- and disulfide-reactive compounds.
Key Properties
- Folate-functionalized PEG reagent
- Reactive terminal thiol (-SH) group
- Suitable for targeted delivery applications
- Hydrophilic and biocompatible PEG spacer
- Supports thiol-mediated conjugation chemistry
Applications
- Targeted drug delivery system development
- Folate receptor-mediated targeting
- Thiol-mediated bioconjugation
- Nanoparticle and liposome functionalization
- Biomaterial and hydrogel engineering
- Cancer nanomedicine research
Functional Overview
The folate ligand supports selective targeting to folate receptor-positive cells, while the thiol group enables stable conjugation with thiol-reactive molecules and surfaces.
Summary
Folate-PEG-SH is a versatile targeting PEG reagent widely used in targeted delivery, bioconjugation, and advanced biomaterial engineering applications.
Summary
Folate-PEG-azide is a multifunctional targeted PEG linker widely used in drug delivery, bioconjugation, and receptor-mediated targeting applications.
